About the Charles Ives Society
The Charles Ives Society was activated in 1973. The aim of the Society has been to further and support the preparation along scholarly critical lines of performing editions, both new and revised, of the works of Ives. (It is not a membership-based organization.)
Since 1973, the Ives Society has been generously supported by grants from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, out of a fund established by the will of Harmony Twichell Ives (the composer's widow) "for furtherance of the publication and performance of the music and other works of . . . Charles E. Ives." Private individuals have also contributed to the work of the Society, and in 1983 it received a substantial bequest according to the wills of Rhoda and Vladimir Lakond; Mr. Lakond was a pioneer publisher of Ives's music when he was an executive of the Peer-Southern Organization.
The Ives Society works in close cooperation with the Music Library of Yale University, which houses the Charles Ives Papers, and the publishers of Ives's music (Associated Music Publishers, Inc., C. F. Peters Corporation, Helicon Music Corporation, MJQ Music, Inc., Mobart Music Publications, Peer International Corporation, and Theodore Presser Company).
The Executive Editor of the Society's program is Ives scholar and conductor James B. Sinclair, who prepared this listing.
